Is it Worth Buying?
This toy drum kit comes in an eye-catching color of a light blue shade on the bottom and an orange trimming around the drums, including the drumsticks. This immediately makes it more attractive to younger children.
The drum pads and cymbals all make a unique sound. But this isn’t just a toy for banging around mindlessly – it’ll help educate your child about music. The lights will flash directing your child to a more structured play with the introduction of learning letters and numbers as they bang out different rhythms.
The Toy drum kit Set has a compact design to make using the drums easier for young children, and it’s easy to store when playtime is done. The drumsticks are not attached to the toy, allowing your child the freedom to bang anywhere he or she wants on the surface of the drums. Just don’t get to near, as you may get hit!
The actual size of this toy may not be what some people may expect. This toy is actually meant to be used while your child is sitting on the floor. Although it is suggested for children up to age 5, that might be too old for this small design. In addition, although the toy brags about “free play”, it isn’t. While your child is playing there will be occasional drum beats that may be interrupting to some children.
Overall, this is a great toy for the young musicians and learners. It is never too early to introduce music, which is wonderful for teaching. This is a great toy and definitely worth your investment, especially considering the fact that it’ll also help teach kids letters and numbers. And you never know, they might just graduate to a real drum set once they’re done (just make sure you have a soundproof room in the house!)
